PART A:- OVERALL DESIGN REVIEW TASKS
For the design check on the building or structures in this submission, I confirm that I have
evaluated, analyzed and reviewed the foundation and structural design with a view to
determining their structural adequacy. Besides other tasks, I have specifically performed the
following tasks and have found that the building or structures designed are structurally
adequate and safe:(I)
Codes Of Practice
-used appropriate codes for the design check
(II)
Design Loadings
-checked that loadings used in design are appropriate and adequate
-used appropriate load combinations to check the design
(III)
Structural Analysis
-used appropriate engineering information and models in the analysis
-ascertained the design assumptions and limitations of the computer programs used
which preferably should be different from that used by the design QP
(IV)
Stability & Robustness
BEV/A3
[Ver 3.0_Dec_2014]
Page 1 of 12
-determined the stability and robustness of the structural system, including
considerations for lateral loads, lateral ties, bracings and lateral transfer of loads
(V)
All Key Structural Elements
-analysed and checked the design of all key structural elements and the foundation
system
(VI)
Structural Drawings
-checked that the detailings in drawings of all key structural elements are adequate
and consistent with the intentions in design calculations
(VII) Other Aspects in Design
-determined the adequacy of other aspects of design which are peculiar to the building
to be constructed or affected by the building works and which are essential to the
structural integrity of the building
Part B: - FOUNDATION & STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
For the following foundation and structural elements or structures, besides other engineering
considerations made by me, I have specifically carried out all the tasks as described in the
table below and confirmed that their designs are structurally adequate and safe: -
